The problem for the teams chasing us is that our points tally and performances match. We are by no means in a false position, so the hype is real for us. The xG table reckons Ipswich, Southampton will be our competition for automatics, followed by Blues, Blackburn and Watford - teams we've put...

He’s also our main threat from set pieces…

Really, you’re using Ben Kingsley as an example? His father spoke gujarati (Ghandi’s primary language) and is of Indian descent, the likeliness is uncanny too albeit, he did wear darker makeup for the role. If Idris Elba was cast to play Ghandi, it would rightly cause outrage. If you can’t get...

… ‘cause the game is gone.

Now this brings back great memories of last summer. Doing this in a small pub in Dusseldorf with fans of other countries after a few too Many beers was great fun!

Why? Let’s play devils advocate… Would the message not be fundamentally the same if you swap the historical contexts and racial identities? That being Apartheid being a white majority excluded by a black colonial settlers or white people living under Jim Crow in the USA. The answer is simple...

Actually, it does because it’s rewriting our history to something that it’s not. How ridiculous would it be if we redid Roots and presented the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade as being a mixture of white, black, brown or Asian victims. It’s unacceptable to depict historical characters...

There’s a double standard. It would be ridiculous to do a series or movie on MLK or Mandela and have random white play them. So why would Hollywood depict historical figures like Cleopatra, Queen Charlotte and few other characters in films in Medieval Europe and so on as black? It’s also...

A FZ in the away end is needed if we’re charging the prices we do. In the home end, our FZ is great value and there’s a few empty seats in that area so perhaps there’s work to do to ensure it’s 100% filled for all the games.

England have a similar policy for ETSC fans where you can get notified 24 hours before KO to present your ID. Otherwise you don’t get the points. These systems make sense when your club sells out 100% of away games before general sale and you run the risk of a genuine closed shop. These also...

The club has surely got to do a bundle deal for these two games. I don’t think Ipswich will be a Cat A+ game because it’s not a BH, people need to be in work the next day.

That’s certainly the case for the likes of Man U, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and so on. I don’t think we’ll ever get to that point so believe we’ll always ‘look after’ STHs. Perhaps that’s naive but time will tell. Our pricing models are generally fair, but away fans is where I feel they’ve...

Below ours last season by 200 fans. They travel well and they sold out last season with tickets being £37 quid. That extra £10 wouldn’t deter them just as much as it wouldn’t deter me if they charged that, even if I’d grumble about it. It is a local rivalry, all midlands teams want to get one...

The bigger picture has to be looking after STHs and given the amount of money in the Prem, it’s a natural consequence. I’m eyeballing this, so could be wrong, but there seems to be a general trend that the less money a league spends, the cheaper the ST prices. The Prem has the highest ST prices...

It is a problem, but the clubs are also under pressure to raise revenue for FFP and there’s the wider economic issue wi If given the choice, would you accept the single ticket prices being higher if it meant ST prices were kept slightly lower? From my POV, the club has got the pricing spot on...

Boxing Day is always a Cat A game irrespective of opposition, last season was the same for Plymouth… It probably won’t impact the attendance at all really - they travel poorly (lowest in the Championship last season). WBA is a local rivalry, they will sell out and have an away support...

The bigger picture is that our ST prices are cheaper than Blues, Leicester and WBA who will all take a moral high ground on this. Were increased our ST prices by £50 since 2022 despite inflationary pressures so the ‘rip off’ prices is a means of covering that. We have 24k STHs, so at most, the...

No, but from 23/24 he has and made that clear in communications with fans. Hence, the FZ is large and v cheap tickets. Only Man U have actually adopted - single price ticket for kids as well as adults. No doubt other clubs will follow suit.

It’s the historical context that Kind inherited when he took over where 1/3 of STH and ticket sales were concessions. This is why the club has taken the stances it has. It is steep which is why I empathise with away fans. It is expensive following a team in the championship. We’ve been quite...

Most away tickets are £30+ quid. There’s a lot of tickets that are priced closer to £40 now.
